WATCH: Kelly Piquet Ecstatic After Her Boyfriend Max Verstappen Meets Her Father for the 1st Time
Max Verstappen, days after winning his 9th Grand Prix of this season, visited his girlfriend Kelly Piquet’s F1 world champion father, Nelson Piquet.
The news doesn’t sound so sensational, right? One might wonder, what’s the huge deal about Verstappen meeting up with his girlfriend’s dad?
Well, here’s something interesting – This is the first time Piquet and Verstappen have met each other. Bizarre, isn’t it? Kelly revealed her relationship with the Dutchman back in 2020. And moreover, the duo even spent the 2021 new year together in Brazil.
Hence, it’s quite surprising that Verstappen never spent time with Nelson in almost a year despite dating his daughter. Well, they’ve finally managed to do so.

Kelly updated their meet-up through an Instagram story with a picture of the duo. She even captioned, “Finally they meet.”
There are a few reasons why Verstappen might have avoided meeting the 3-time world champion over the past year. Brazil has been one of the worst affected countries with respect to COVID-19.

Hence, there were abundant protocols in place for anyone and everyone who sets foot into the country, and the fact that Verstappen has been in the race for his first F1 title this season might’ve restricted him from risking his life and traveling to Brazil.

Can Max Verstappen clinch as many titles as Nelson Piquet?
Verstappen is on the verge of securing his first-ever world championship title this season. And what makes this trophy more glorious is he would defeat the long-undefeated 7-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton. So, let’s assume he wins the 2021 championship.
Now onto 2022. Red Bull have taken a gamble by becoming their own engine supplier. Hence, there is a bit of uncertainty whether Red Bull’s journey would continue to cherish the glory they are in the middle of at the moment. But, either way, it looks like Verstappen has a very firm future ahead.

If Red Bull continue to dominate in 2022 as well, then, the Dutchman will also be unstoppable and a title spree could well be on cards. If Red Bull suffer a massive downfall, Verstappen attract a lot of offers from other big teams, possibly including Mercedes.
Hence, a move to another championship-winning team from Red Bull would still Verstappen in the title game. So, with a secure future ahead, can Verstappen manage to secure more than Nelson’s 3 Formula 1 titles? Well, only time will tell.
